Perfect for students majoring in education or social work/counseling: we offer two mentoring based programs for deserving, disadvantaged youth. As a mentor, you will meet with a student one-on-one during school hours, on school grounds. The commitment is for a minimum of 1 school year; mentors are asked to meet with students at least 2x per month, for at least 30 minutes.

Volunteers are needed to manage and organize the Education Resource Center: Books and other donated items need to be sorted and placed in the proper areas on shelves, teachers need to be checked in and items taken need to be monitored. Please note you may need to lift 30lbs or more. The Center is open two or more afternoons a week.

None. Hours will be kept and a record can be given at the end of the day or volunteer period. Referral letters can also be issued, if needed.
